The World According to Brooklyn

I've been waiting for Matt to complete his photo editing of the pictures from our fun filled weekend, but that hasn't been happening particularly quickly so I decided that I would go ahead and record a few funny things so I don't forget before the pictures are finally edited.

A few funny moments. . .

After we arrived at the reception Brooklyn was speaking with the flower girls (who she had met at Chelsy's bridal shower.  A woman came up and asked one of the flower girls if they had seen her daughter.  Apparently the mom had misplaced her daughter who happened to be a friend of the flower girls'.  Brooklyn smiled at the woman and watched her walk away.  A few minutes later the lady walked by Brooklyn and Brooklyn stopped her and said something that I couldn't understand.  The woman smiled politely and walked away.  I knelt over and asked Brooklyn "Honey, what did you say to that lady?".  Brooklyn responded quite simply "I said. . .  I can't believe you lost your kid.".  I thought I must have misheard her. . . but after asking for her to repeat it she said "I SAID. . . I can't believe you lost your kid".  Ahem. . . how do you argue with that?  We told her that it was rude to say. .but. . I was still snickering about it hours later.

Yesterday evening it was just Brooklyn and I home for dinner.  Brooklyn was working on coloring at the table and I was preparing dinner.

Brooklyn:  "Mom, I can sometimes read Mrs. K's mind. . cool huh?"

Me: "That is pretty cool. . what do you mean, sweetie?"

Brooklyn: "Well, the other day Mrs K asked what we thought we should do next and when I answered her she said . . "You read my mind". . isn't that crazy mom, I READ HER MIND!"

Again. .how do you argue with this stuff?

There are more, but naturally the fact that I am sitting down to type them out means that I can think of no others.  I'll try to get better at recording them as we hear them.
